It might still make sense, even in a volunteer-led non-profit context. It is not a "cost" in a commercial sense, but we still need to coordinate things like translation due dates, estimated beta and release dates, and so on. We try to line up communications, interviews with the press, etc., to coincide with milestone dates like this. So being able to estimate how long a test pass will take is useful to predicting these dates. That said, I'm not sure we do anything very sophisticated here. What I've seen is mainly counting test cases and estimating how test cases/hour a volunteer can execute on average. -Rob > Edwin > > On Thu, Jan 9, 2014, at 12:30, akriti wrote: >> Hello All, >> >> Happy New Year to all..!! >> >> I am interested in learning and implementing Test Effort Estimation >> techniques. >> Can we discuss about the latest or greatest Effort Estimation techniques >> here/ >> >> It would be nice if OO QA members share their experience. >> >> Thanks & Regards, >> Akriti Jaiswal > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
